The Pope needs to weigh all the evidence -- the FACTS -- and not just respond to media myths and rumors. There is a problem among some priests, but the extent of the problem has been grossly exaggerated.

Don't get me wrong: one crime against one child is serious and must be punished.

And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! (Matthew 18:5-7)

I have great trust and faith in our Lord that the Holy Spirit will guide the decisions of the Pope, and they will be based on mercy and love for both the offenders and the victims.

God bless.
